1. The Bona Fide Long Term Injury/Illness Exception - A team with a player on longterm IR (10 games/24 days min) may exceed the cap by up to the injured players salary for replacements, but once the injured player returns the team must get back below the cap again before activating the player.

Mhm, I gotcha, but no where does that say the injured player does not count against the Upper Limit...it says a club may exceed the Upper Limit by the pro-rated portion of the cap hit of the injured player, which is slightly different than the player(s) not counting against the Upper Limit...

I don't mean to nitpick, but the salary cap and the CBA is kind of my thing...
